is found wandering the corridors of Nobel Hospital in Stockholm,
accompanied by a young boy. She appears to be looking for a man who
was involved in a car accident earlier that day. Meanwhile, in one
of the emergency rooms, Tekla Berg is fighting to save a patient
who was seriously injured in the same incident. The resulting chaos
goes beyond anything anyone could have predicted, leaving hospital
staff, police and everyone else involved equally shocked and
perplexed. Hospital Director Monica Carlsson has stepped up her
attempts to privatise her fiefdom with the launch of an exclusive
patient hotel, a controversial liver transplant unit and the
prestigious recruitment of star surgeon Klas Nyström. It soon
becomes obvious that Klas has his own agenda and is working to
undermine Tekla at every turn. But Tekla is too distracted to meet
this challenge head on: she has become obsessed with the mystery
surrounding the woman and her young charge - for the boy's identity
remains unknown and no trace of his past can be found. Reviews for

The first in a new Swedish crime series featuring Tekla Berg, a
fearless doctor with a remarkable photographic memory "Watch your
blood pressure! A tense and clever thriller" Lilja Sigurdardottir
With 85% per cent burns to his body and a 115% risk of dying, it's
a miracle the patient is still alive. He only made it this far
thanks to Tekla Berg, an emergency physician whose unorthodox
methods and photographic memory are often the difference between
life and death. Convinced that the fire was a terrorist attack -
and that the patient was involved - the police are determined to
question him. Almost as determined as those who would silence him
at any cost. And while Tekla battles to keep him breathing, she
can't shake the thought that something about him is strangely
familiar . . . Tekla has always hidden her remarkable mind from her
hospital colleagues, resorting to amphetamines to take the edge off
the endless whirl of lucid memories. But now she'll need to call on
all her wits as she's drawn into a mystery involving corrupt
police, the godfather of the Uzbek mafia, and her beloved but
wayward brother. Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding
